Intro
Intro starts with bass playing this:
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|--5-5----5-2-2----2-8-8---3-0-3-4----|
E|-------------------------------------|
The bass plays that four times and then the guitar plays this:
D5 B5 F5 C5 (C5/A)
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|-7-7---x-4-4----10-10----5-5-5-5-----|
D|-7-7---x-4-4----10-10----5-5-5-5-----|
A|-5-5---x-2-2----8--8-----3-0-3-0-----|
E|-------------------------------------|
We'll call this RIFF1 and you have to remember it because
this is what you play in the chorus.
In the verse the bass plays the intro bassline and the guitar
doesn't play anything except when you shout 'I don't know why'
then you play this:
Verse Riff
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|---5-5-5-5b7-------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
b = bend
Verse 1 - play VERSE-RIFF when you shout 'I don't know why'
Monkey see, monkey do (I don't know why)
Rather be dead then cool (I don't know why)
Every line ends in rhyme (I don't know why)
Less is more, love is blind (I don't know why)
Chorus - Play riff 1
Stay
Stay away
Stay away
Stay away
Verse 2 - play like verse 1
Give an inch, take a smile (I don't know why)
Fashion shits, fashion style (I don't know why)
Blow it out, keep it in (I don't know why)
Have to have poison skin (I don't know why)
PLAY CHORUS
Bridge
When you play the bridge, you just play 'D5 F#5' and then this:
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--3-3-3-3b5---| When you play this bend you
D|--------------| shout 'I don't know why'.
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
Do that twice and that's the whole bridge.
